I am in a competitive situation that the criteria to meet a true operating lease is a must. They are currently utilizing a 48 month lease with a 36 month out to meet this criteria. Obviouosly, accounting based on a 60 month useful life rule. However, I think I have seen a document or information stating that copiers can actually be on the books for up to seven years. Which would allow us to use a 48 month lease with no out. Any thoughts or information?
